#1 2 base support left & right
#2 2-20" legs left and right
#3 6-20" seat slats
#4 Lower canoe
#5 7 back slats
#6 Half round seat
#7 Large Front arm supports
#8 Back legs left and right
#9 Arm rests left and right
#10 Middle canoe
#11 Small arm supports
#12 Top canoe

Tools: best to use power drill with 2" Phillips bit & 9/16"crescent wrench
Glue: Buy small bottle of Tite Bond II Premium wood glue or something similar. Lowes or Home Depot.
Note: Directions stating left and right are as you sit in the chair
Note: Use 1 5/8" screws unless otherwise stated.
Note: When screwing in screws, make sure they are very snug. Don't let screws dig to far into predrilled hole.

1/4" space between slats

Caution: Rarely, but occasionally a knot may be in the path of a screw. If this happens the knot will have to be pre-drilled with a 1/8" bit, or screw may break off.

Step 2: Next take the lower canoe #4 and temporarily attach to bases as show in photo. No need to tighten the screws all the way. This is to keep the two bases 20" apart front to back. Glue & attach the 5 remaining #3 seat slats 1/4" apart. Then attach the half round seat #6. Remove lower canoe.

Note: Loveseat
Instructions are the same as the chair, with the exception that seat slats re 40" long and there are 7 extra middle back slats. There is an additional half length base that supports the middle of the seats slats.
51 - 1 5/8" screws
12 - 2 1/2" screws
14 - 2" screws
4 - 3" screws

Step 1: Take a #1 left & right base supports and glue & attach 1- #3 seat slat to the front edge of both bases, using 1 5/8" screws.

Note: Big Boy
Instructions same as chair with the exception there is 1 extra middle back slat.
43 - 1 1/8" screws
14 - 2" screws
10 - 2" screws
4 - 3" screws

Step 4: Turn base with legs attached right side up and rotate legs so bottom of legs are level with floor. Screw on nuts snuggly, but not tight. You will most likely have to rotate legs later in the assembly process.

Step 6: Take the #4 lower canoe with the #5 back slats attached and glue and screw the canoe / backrest assembly to the #1 bases using 2 - 1 5/8" screws on each side. Looks like the second photo after attaching back rest.

Step 8: Put glue on top of back legs. Take middle canoe #10and position so pre-drilled holes are directly over top of back legs. Back of canoe slightly over hangs back edge of leg. Put 1 - 2" screw in each end, then put the other 2" screw in each end.

Step 3: Apply glue around bolt hole and attach #2 left and right legs to bases using bolts, washers and nuts. Counter sunk pre-drilled holes at the top of the legs are on the inside of the leg when attached to the base.

Step 12: Fan the outside back rest slats out beyond the middle canoe by 1/4". Screw a 3" screw into ends of middle canoe into the outside back rest slats. Evenly space rest of back rests and screw 5 - 2 1/2" screws into five remaining seat backs. Attach #12 top canoe approximately 5 1/2" above middle canoe.

Toe nail screw in front & back edge of leg

Step 11: (A) While pushing down on top of arm with hand, screw a 3" screw up thru arm support. Making sure the back end of the arm rest is touching the side of the back leg, toe nail a 2 1/2" screw thru top front & back edge of front leg into arm rest.
(B) Put 2" screw into back arm rest support.
(C) 2 - 1 5/8" screws into side of back leg into arm rest. Now, finish tightening bolts on front legs & putting 2nd screw in bottom of back legs.

Step 10: (A) Put lots of glue on top of front legs. Wipe up runs with wet rag later.
(B) Place right arm on top of leg and rear support. (C) Back end of arm is flush with back edge of back leg. (D) 1" overhang on inside of front leg.

Top of back support is 20" from floor

Top of back support is between these two holes on other side of leg.

Flush with top of leg

Step 9: Glue and attach #7 front arm supports at the top, center, on the outside of front legs using two screws on the inside of the leg. Now attach rear arm support #11 to outside of back leg. Top support is 20" from floor. Support is not centered on width of leg.
(see dashed line)

Step 5: No Glue. Take #4 lower canoe and attach 7 - #5 back slats to canoe. Center back slats on canoe. Make sure counter sunk holes on canoe are on top side, not on bottom. (You can use “middle canoe” #10 to temporarily hold up the top end of back slats while positioning and screwing lower end of slats onto lower canoe. 18” between lower canoe and middle canoe) Make sure there is a nice rounded curve on top of back slats when slats are fanned out before screwing slats to lower canoe. The pieces should be touching at the bottom. Use 2" screws.

Step 7: Attaching back legs #8. There is a left and right back leg. Position bottom of leg within the lines drawn on the inside of the base. Top of leg slopes away from back rest. Only fasten each leg with one screw for now.
